2011-11-24
welcome to my unboxing of a fire truck this is made by Arctic hobby you might notice the logo looks a little bit like Arctic cooling get the ultimate riding experience with this fire truck as you can plainly see it's huge okay and the package contents are fairly straightforward so you get a fire truck a remote control some batteries another more different battery yet another more different battery and finally a charging cable so you can buy the fire truck online at NCIX as always and keep the scheme to get really confused by this but as always I have listed the link to the product on NCIX in the description of the video so people are always like - why don't you talk about the prices of the product in your videos and I say well because the prices change and the video cannot be updated but a link can be updated so that is why I never talk about prices in my videos but I do provide links to the products available for purchase at a particular price in the description so here we go the fire truck features I don't want to miss any of this stuff okay Peters instructions which tell us how to enable all of the different functionality of the truck however I will need a screwdriver in order to install the batteries and whatnot so give me a couple seconds I'm just gonna let you get a couple of sort of glamour shots of the fire truck itself and then I'll be back in just a moment so the included items we have an antenna for the remote we've also got a 9-volt battery for the remote three double A batteries for the bottom of the fire engine okay and then we've got this little charging cable adapter doodad that works with the Arctic hobby charging station now you can also get these guys separately which charge the cable or charge the battery pack directly so that's six cells in there that's a seven point two full volt 800 million power battery pack okay so we're gonna go ahead and put all these things aside for now and don't worry in this video we will be showing you guys all of the features of this fire truck including coming right out of the packaging just like that alright oh very exciting here let's get this styrofoam cleared out of the way here so it's a bit of an ordeal installing all the batteries so I'm gonna do that off-camera as well but I do want to show you guys the basic layout of the fire engine first the first thing you're gonna want to do is take this at receiving antenna right here and plug the straw into the hole down there so that it stands up that is going to keep it from getting in the way of the ladder which is pretty much the coolest ladder I've ever seen because it extends and lifts and rotates yes it has all of the functionality of a fire engine ladder so that is to say it comes up this way it extends out this way and it rotates around this way okay now this fire nozzle our fire nozzle water nozzle at the end remember you don't have to get that close here at the end actually sprays water so there's a reservoir right here that we can fill with water and let's have here we'll do a quick sort of overview of the fire engine itself so yeah I'm gonna lift this up so we can have a good look you can see these are rubber tires very very nice good traction on those tires okay we got our mirror right there with reflective shiny surface okay we've got you know chrome accents including the fire hose nozzles to which you practically can't hook anything up I'm very disappointed about that but you know how it is okay we've also got these stabilizers and these do serve a purpose so you want to bring these out whenever you're gonna take the ladder extend it and move it over to the side so that's very important got another couple of wheels here got an axe just in case you need one of those moving around to the back check this out you can pull things if you so want so desire okay it's a little tight right now but you know you can use this little handle here to open it up and close it retract it there we go so we're just gonna have fat back there where it was okay coming around to the other side we got another axe okay we've got all of our you know hydraulics and whatnot got a fire department logos more shiny stuff and then you guys can check out the front of the fire engine so here we have our horn by the way it does have a realistic sounding horn honking we have our side are our lights okay and it does have a siren that goes off when it moves here's our bumper windshield wipers realistic okay okay so I'm gonna put the batteries in and we're gonna show you guys how this bad boy works in just a moment so first I'm going to show you guys all the advanced functionality of the land rider 503 so here you can see we can select either the ladder or the wheel I mean I think they means steering wheel and we're gonna go with all of the ladder functions first so ladder up you're gonna want to go ahead and adjust that a little bit otherwise that's definitely gonna spill okay we're gonna go ahead and take our support struts out of the side of the that's okay you'll see the other side when I take them up there we go okay there we go so that we don't tip over the land Rider 503 then we're gonna take our ladder we're gonna move it to a little bit to the right oh whoops okay okay now we're gonna go ahead and extend the ladder I press the wrong thing sorry guys I think slick knows what's coming [Laughter] okay so we're gonna fire the water I'm going to show you guys the range here so it may want to step back a little bit so that they can gather some some feel for this scope of what we're doing here can you see it at all so it definitely does fire water okay so we're gonna bring that ladder right back down oh look at that you can do two things at once okay we're gonna bring that back down to rest right there okay so we have secured the fire engine oh yeah I haven't shown you guys the horn yet hold on wait for it yeah that won't get old fast when your kids are running around doing it okay okay but wait but wait but wait but wait it gets even better okay so we're gonna take the fire engine for a drive here so we're gonna switch over to wheel mode
